Bamboozle @ Folkestone Harbour Arm

Fun, post-rock and ominous Americana that’s both nostalgic and deeply modern.

Bamboozle combines singer/bassist/songwriter Serena Sykes, lighting up the stage with her dynamic performances, electric vocal and daring double bass stunts, with internationally renowned singer/guitarist/songwriter Jim Knowler (The Keytones, Gotz Alsmann), injecting his exciting and instantly recognisable guitar riffs. Together they bring a wealth of musical experience and innovation to the stage. The line up is completed by stylish drummer/vocalist, Jax Titmus, bringing her rhythmic ideas and energetic performances.

With their eclectic background, wide-ranging musical influences and unique form of controlled chaos, Bamboozle draws inspiration from a variety of genres, including country, folk, rock ‘n’ roll, rockabilly, swing and beyond. Their alternative sound calls to mind a cross between the uncompromising vocals of Patti Smith, the croon of Chris Isaak and a splash of the attitude and fire of early Elvis. Serena’s electrifying vocal performances soar above Jim’s thrilling guitar riffs and Jax’s driving drum beats to create a sound that is both unique and unforgettable. Altogether, Bamboozle delivers a heady blend of fun, post-rock, and ominous Americana that is both nostalgic and deeply modern.

Their live performances are nothing short of explosive, with their dynamic style and distinctive sound earning them a dedicated and almost cult-like fan base that crosses all genres. Bamboozle’s music is a high-energy fusion of old and new, drawing on the rich heritage of rock ‘n’ roll while forging a path forward into uncharted musical territory. With their dynamic sound, infectious energy, and undeniable talent, Bamboozle is a band that is well worth experiencing first-hand.
